News story about kershaw

Taken from the artical:

"Outside the warranty room are a 55-gallon drum of busted knives that didn't make it, Goddard leaned in and grabbed a pocket knife at random. "He must've been prying something with this blade; look at how the tip is bent. A lot of these are cases of misuse, but we replace them anyway."

CS doesn't get any better then that. :thumbup:

Thanks for the link Sockeye!
 
"This drum fills up about once a month and then we send these to be ground up and recycled,"

Imagine how many whole knives you could make out of that "Junk." Heck, I bet some rare ones even make it in there. I have been buying up used, rare Kershaws lately and making them "whole," it is very satisfying to salvage some pieces of history.:thumbup:

Can you post some pics >? I recall many moons ago a buddy of mine had a Kershaw , it was wood and brass handled like a Buck110 , but it had finger curves and was really wide for a knife , the wideness is what made it stick in my mind , I wonder what he did with that knife... ?
 
1050 maybe?

My favorite part of the story;
"I'm still not sure why I'm here," said a man in a red gimme cap from a fishing-gear manufacturer. "A couple of days ago, I found a plastic box in the closet full of new Kershaw knives still in their boxes, so I don't need any more knives. But here I am waiting to buy more."

I would love to see the contents of his "Plastic Box".

OK, which one of You guys here is He!:D

It looked sort of like that but I really think the knife was taller , not wider. I guess it depends on your perspective , from that pics perspective it would have been a taller knife.
Unless my memory is totally shot .... :D
 
Now I know the dates for this year extra early, although I already knew it's the first weekend in December. Drove from Vancouver last year, doing it again this year. I went Saturday and had a blast. My early Christmas!
